Any house that might possibly have a room for a library sounds marvelous. Good luck, I hope the contracts get signed soon!

I hope your move goes well and that you’re able to move into your new home soon.

Good luck with the move. Haven’t attempted it myself in over 15 years, but whenever we do a renovation we have to pack up an area of the house and that’s bad enough!

Stay focused on the book room, aka library.

I do not envy you your job of packing and sorting through things. We did that three plus years ago. We still had toys and other assorted things that had been around for years. What a job that was. Once it was done, however, the new place was filled with only those things we use and love. It’s a much better living arrangement.

I hope you are able to make the ‘bookroom’ in the new house a library – what a lovely luxury that would be. I’m amazed that you’ve been able to read so much with all the preparations for moving. I shall cross my fingers for you and hope it all goes well.

Moving is hard enough, then trying to find things after the move is another challenge. However, that kind of thing is supposed to be good brain exercise! Good luck!

I know what you mean Margaret, I won’t say anything to you about it either until you are moved in no matter where you’ll be. Things that I do talk about for some reason don’t materialize. I am waiting though to hear all about it later as well as your review of “Nocturnes”. I have put a hold on it at the Library. I am reading “The Children’s Book” right now. I guess there are so many characters in this book that I really need concentration or I need to back track when my mind wonders… I do enjoy the description of the time and place and of course the artwork and artists minds. I love the picture of Lucy all curled up. Do you have somekind of “Garage Sale” or “Attic Sale” in the UK where you can open your garage to sale some items on the weekend to your neighbors or passers by? It is very popular here especialy with people weeding out their house before moving. Wishing you the most pleasant move.

Moving is a pain but congratulations on the house will be forthcoming when all is finalized. I’m reading Murder on the Orient Express for the first time, courtesy of the AC challenge.

I dread the thought of moving, there is so much in this house. Sounds like you maybe in your new home for Christmas, how exciting!!

The next few months are going to be reasonable difficult, aren’t they. But having got buyers for your house you can’t possibly pass the opportunity over. After my first house move I swore that nothing was ever going to go into the loft again and although I haven’t quite manged that for the most part it is only boxes with very specific thing in up there that would simply be moved as they are.
As to what to read, i would leave ‘The Children’s Book’ until you’re settled. It needs real concentration. ‘Wolf Hall’ is much easier going.
